One of London's finest parks and well worth a visit. Starting in the attractive town of Richmond, this walk takes you right across the park - you can go off route and explore for yourself as much as you like! Look out for the park's famous deer as well. The route either takes you to Norbiton on the south side of Richmond Park, or continues on across Wimbledon Common.

From here, the choice is yours - the following route is just a suggestion, but the park is well signposted and easy to explore. My favourite route is straight ahead, towards the Pen Ponds.

There are often birds around the ponds, which makes it a pleasant place to stop. From here, head up the hill towards the woods.

Another nice spot, but there are lots to find. The roads which cut through the Park are a plague, but this is one of the quieter places which feel more like the country than a city.

From the southern tip of the Park you can head down Queen's Road to Norbiton Station. If the weather's nice, head East past Coombe Hill and explore Wimbledon Common as well!

This is the edge of Wimbledon Common. As with Richmond Park, don't follow a set route, just lose yourself and explore! Wimbledon Station is not too far the other side of the Common.
